Just a note in this debate: I've used literally HUNDREDS of SS disks as DS disks, both 5.25 and 3.5. I've done this for years (about 5 years). I have had exactly 3 disks go bad. For two of them, they wouldn't format. For the third (the only bad 3.5), it went bad after a couple of hours. I should have known better than to use it, as it made funny squeaking/squealing noises as it turned. -- Ron DeBlock KA2IKT 213 River Dr. ...!rutgers!galaxy!argus Lk Hiawatha, NJ 07034 ron@wilbur.njit.edu (201) 316-6807 "Oooo...that's mean!" "No, just average."
